When Lin Jiu woke up, it was already bright outside.
The house was quiet, just like every morning.
But this morning was different, it shouldn't be so quiet.
Lin Jiu jumped off the bed and ran out. The fish meat that had piled up to the ceiling was gone. The living room was clean without a single water stain.
If it weren't for the faint smell of the sea in the air, it would be impossible to imagine how much seafood was piled here last night.
Lin Jiu searched the living room and kitchen but couldn't find Si Xu. Si Xu had already left.
Lin Jiu returned to the bedroom dejectedly. Suddenly he heard the door open. He jumped up and ran out.
Si Xu came back carrying a box.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Si Xu put down his keys and box, walked over, picked up the person and carried him back to the room.
Lin Jiu watched him put himself on the bed, then turned around and left, and soon came back, following him with a pair of eyes.
"I thought you wouldn't come back."
Si Xu paused as he opened the box. "You want me to stay?"
Lin Jiu nodded first, and then began to shake his head, not knowing whether he wanted Si Xu to stay or not.
Lin Jiu wanted him to stay, but was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to go to the Demon Sea plane if she lived with him.
Si Xu did not force it and opened the box. There was a row of colorless and transparent medicines in the box, with a total of ten.
"Is this... a genetic enhancement potion?" Lin Jiu looked at the potions in amazement.
Si Xu was not sure either. "These are what I made according to the recipe. It should be successful, but I don't know how effective it is."
This is easy. Lin Jiu immediately called the system to check.
The system sound is a bit timid.
Host, are you okay
Lin Jiu was wary of this system. Although the system did not say that one would be killed if the task was not completed, the punishment for violating the system rules was also fatal.
The worst thing was that the system suddenly did this, which scared Si Xu.
Lin Jiu: What do you think? Are you a fake fan? You are doing this to me in front of Si Xu, who are you trying to scare to death
It's not me, this is the system's self-protection function. You just need to touch it, there is no need to contact me, the system will react directly on you.
Lin Jiu: Stop talking nonsense and help me test the efficacy of these medicines.
Testing the potion will consume 1 magic point. Do you want to test it
Lin Jiu: Testing.
1 magic point has been deducted.
The drug is being tested... The strengthening level is 1.2%.
This level of enhancement almost brings out the medicinal properties of the formula to its extreme.
Lin Jiu said: "The strengthening effect of these medicines is already the limit of this formula."
Si Xu didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Lin Jiu might have a way to know the effects of these medicines. Just like the secrets about him, Si Xu would not find anything strange.
The system spoke cautiously.
If you want to improve the strengthening effect of the formula, the host can replace the materials. It doesn't need to be a lot. Replacing one strengthening effect will make a big difference.
Lin Jiu heard a hint of flattery in the system's voice.
If Lin Jiu had asked this question on his own initiative, the system would definitely have charged him magic points again, but this time it actually told him for free.
Lin Jiu took the opportunity to make some money.
Lin Jiu: Where can I find replacement materials
It is on Xipuluo Island.
Lin Jiu: Got it. Remember to point it out to me next time.
…
The system shut up silently and said no more.
Lin Jiu said: "The enhancement effect of the one you used can reach 10%, and the effect of this one is only 1.2%. The ability enhanced by this should directly exceed the RT value stated by Shi Qing."
Si Xu's eyes moved, "I know."
Si Xu closed the box and said, "I will go talk to the higher-ups now."
Si Xu paused for a moment before saying, "During the days you were away, someone from the Liao family came to see you. Old Master Liao had an accident. He is still alive, but now he can't move his body. He can only lie in bed and can't even speak clearly."
"Liao Yuan has been arrested and is awaiting trial along with Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng."
"In your case, the Zhou family was the mastermind, and Mr. Liao knew about it but didn't report it. Although the statute of limitations has passed, the Zhou family has done a lot of shady things over the years, and they have all been found out. The case back then will accumulate their crimes, and all the Zhou family members have been detained."
Lin Jiu nodded, feeling a little relieved.
Si Xu said: "Don't worry, they will all be sentenced severely, and the case will be expedited. There will be a conclusion in this period of time."
Si Xu hesitated for a moment, "Your father and Zhou Chanying are divorced."
Lin Jiu was stunned, unable to describe the feeling.
He divorced his mother for various reasons and married Zhou Chanying under the arrangement of his family. Now that Zhou Chanying was in trouble, he divorced Zhou Chanying, probably under the pressure of the Liao family.
He lives like a robot, everything is controlled by others and he acts according to other people's instructions.
The Kitchen God System reminds the host that there are still three days left before the mission deadline.
Lin Jiu: …
Depend on!
He had been gone for ten days, and had not completed the two tasks of the Kitchen God System.
Although the reward is not much, the penalty for failure is very high, a full 130 points.
Lin Jiu would never give these magic points to the system.
Lin Jiu said hurriedly: "If you want to test the medicine with other people, why not let the people from Team 7 come? There will be no problem. I, I need enhanced people to come to my store to consume. I need 8 people, and each person must eat 10 meals within three days."
Si Xu: “…”
Is this another push to boost sales
Si Xu: "Okay, I'll arrange it, you prepare it."
As soon as Si Xu left, Lin Jiu immediately opened the super smart kitchen and went in to sing.
Si Xu and Fu Xi were both eating magic meals, and there were more than ten servings.
Lin Jiu checked the completion rate and found that, as he thought, Si Xu and Fu Xi were counted as two people, and the cumulative number would not be increased after reaching ten.
These 10 magic meal diners are related to the number of portions, and one diner must eat all ten portions.
The rewards are so small, but the rules are so many.
Lin Jiu prepared 80 magic meals at a time, put them in the refrigerator, and waited for the diners to arrive.
Lin Jiu still didn't release the account today. He planned not to release the account for the next three days. With the income from Mocan, it would be easy for him to make a profit of 20 million.
The 10 million yuan outsourced has already been received, which is also included in the profit.
Lin Jiu immediately donated 10 million to the foreign destination.
The Kitchen God System congratulates the host, the Magic Fish Shop reputation value +100.
Lin Jiu has already figured out the routine. This is a system specially prepared for brushing treasure chests.
Si Xu took the medicine to see the head of the "Special Security Department".
Si Xu went to his office instead of discussing the matter with him at home.
This is official business, and Si Xu went to the office to make this clear.
Si Qinian was in a meeting, and Si Xu waited until he adjourned.
Si Qinian was a little surprised to see Si Xu waiting in the office, "What are you doing here?"
Si Xu stood up and said, "I need to talk to the minister about something."
Si Qinian understood that Si Xu was probably looking for him for official business.
He said a few words to the deputy minister and his entourage who came in with him, and they left first, leaving the father and son of the Si family to talk alone.
Si Qinian sat down in the office chair. "To make a long story short, I have an important meeting in ten minutes."
Si Xu didn't intend to beat around the bush with him. He just put the box on the desk and opened it for him to see.
Si Qinian took a look and said nothing, waiting for Si Xu to continue.
Si Xu said: "These are gene enhancers. After injection, ordinary people can be directly transformed into enhanced people."
Si Qinian looked at Si Xu steadily without any reaction.
After a long time, Si Qinian finally spoke, "Si Xu, do you know what you are saying?"
Si Xu: "I know exactly what I'm talking about."
Si Qinian asked: "Then do you know that foreign forces have been committed to the research of this medicine?"
Although Si Xu didn't know, he could think of this possibility. Since the unknown energy crystal has the ability to strengthen human genes through radiation, it is impossible for humans not to think of transforming it into a medicine to complete this task.
No matter how good the energy is, it will run out one day. Humans are so smart, how could they not think of this
Si Qinian glanced at the potion and said, "Most of the people who attacked Mo Zhi some time ago were berserkers. They have a certain degree of self-control. If they can control themselves, they are no different from normal people. Only when they are enraged or desperate, they will actively go berserk and appear in a state similar to that of an enhanced human."
"Under normal circumstances, if a berserker is exposed to radiation from an unknown energy crystal, they will not be able to maintain their sanity and will simply go berserk. However, those people can. From the information we have received and the research results of the Special Security Department's research institute, it is very likely that they were injected with some kind of enhancement drug, most likely the genetic enhancement agent that foreign forces have been researching."
Si Xu frowned, "A drug that makes people go crazy is not called a gene enhancer."
Si Qinian nodded at the box and said, "How can you guarantee that these drugs are gene enhancers and not drugs that make people go berserk? After all, this kind of berserk drug has already flowed into the black market abroad. As long as you have money, you can buy it."
Si Xu said: "First, I didn't buy these medicines from anywhere, but made them myself. Second, you can test them on the spot. If there is any problem, I will take full responsibility. Third, I am not giving them away for free. I have conditions."
Si Qinian stared at his only son and said, "I don't know when you became interested in researching potions?"
Si Xu: "Recently, I suddenly wanted to do some research."
Si Qinian: “…”
If this word got out, the researchers would be furious. What was the point of their working day and night? They hadn't figured it out, so could Si Xu, a completely unrelated person, suddenly come up with a solution
No matter how outstanding his son was, Si Qinian would not dare to have such thoughts.
Si Qinian said: "Si Xu, you have no right to joke about human life, and I can't let you try the medicine."
Si Xu had expected this to happen. "I really don't have the right. What if they volunteer to try the drug?"
Si Qinian glared at Si Xu.
Si Xu: "If they take the initiative to ask to be the drug testers, the 'Special Security Department' just needs to approve it. They can sign the agreement, and any conclusion has nothing to do with the 'Special Security Department'."
Si Qinian: "I don't agree."
Si Xu: "Are you going to deprive them of their right to choose?"
Si Qinian: "I won't let this get out."
Si Xu: "But I have already told my team members, and they are all willing to try the drug."
Si Qinian slammed the table, "Si Xu! Do you know what you are doing?!"
Si Xu was not afraid at all. "I know exactly what I am doing. Can't I share the medicine I developed with others? They are all happy to be the testers."
As Si Xu spoke, he opened the folder, took out the signed agreement, and placed it on Si Qinian's desk.
There were four agreements in total, and Zhao Cheng, Huang Qi, Chang Beimu and Qiao Anya from Team 7 all signed them.
Before coming to find Si Qinian, Si Xu went to the base and held a meeting with the members of Team 7. They learned that it was a potion that could directly transform people into enhanced humans, and that it was made by the captain himself. They were excited but also hesitant, but they all chose to believe the captain.
Si Xu said: "I am very confident in my medicine. Once it succeeds, our strength will surpass that of other countries. Do you really not approve?"
Si Qinian was furious, "What if you fail? You will be responsible for someone's death! Your life will be ruined!"
Si Xu was silent for a moment before he said, "It won't fail, because I also used this potion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have awakened my special bloodline, and I wouldn't be alive today."
Si Qinian looked at him in shock, his hands on the table clenched into fists.
Si Xu did not dodge or avoid, but looked him straight in the eye with a firm gaze.
Si Qinian: "Have you really thought it through?"
Si Xu: "I've thought about it."
"Okay, you go and do it. I'll tell you the details and the results." Si Qinian closed the box and pushed it to Si Xu.
Si Xu picked up the box and turned to leave.
"How is Lin Jiu?" Si Qinian asked.
Si Xu has made a lot of noise in his search for Lin Jiu. He even went to the "Special Security Department" last night. There is no way Si Qinian doesn't know about this.
"He's fine."
Si Qinian said: "Call your mother and others, don't let them worry."
"good."
Si Xu called them early this morning and told them that Lin Jiu was back so that they don't have to worry.
Si Xu returned to the base carrying the box. The members of Team Seven already knew that the captain had obtained approval from his superiors.
Si Xu took them to a room equipped with surveillance cameras, one for each person. He personally gave the four people injections. Until the four people's strengthening was completed, they had to stay in the metal room.
Si Xu, Weng Cheng, Lin Han and others are in the monitoring room. They will observe the situation of the four people from the monitoring screen.
They often eat food containing energy, and their physical foundation is very good. In addition, the degree of enhancement is far lower than that of real primary gene enhancers. There will definitely be pain, but it is far from the pain that Si Xu has to endure.
They were all people who had walked out of the radiation training room. Their ability to endure pain was higher than that of ordinary people. So when they felt the pain was unbearable, they all sat cross-legged and endured it silently, with cold sweat dripping down their faces like rain, which was enough to show how much pain they were in.
Si Xu was timing. He wanted to know how long it would take to complete one enhancement.
A minute later, the four people who were sitting in meditation all fell to the ground. Their pain was obvious, but they were still conscious and they were still holding on.
Two minutes later, the four people curled up on the ground had veins bulging and were struggling desperately on the ground. They looked very scary.
Weng Cheng and Lin Han in the monitoring room were both sweating profusely. They were very nervous and afraid that something might happen.
They looked at the captain frequently, and his calmness allowed them to barely maintain their sanity.
When the time jumped to three minutes, the four people who were still struggling suddenly stopped moving.
Weng Cheng and Lin Han were both startled, "Captain..."
Si Xu didn't move, staring at the screen.
The first person to move was Zhao Cheng. He was lying on the ground, and his body floated up, floating like a balloon and sticking to the metal roof.
Wengcheng: “…”
Lin Han: “…”
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter, "Success! They succeeded!"
The second person to react was Chang Beimu. She propped herself up and tried to get up. White mist rose around her and a layer of frost condensed on her arms.
Lin Han said excitedly: "This, this is... ice?!"
There was nothing abnormal about Huang Qi and Qiao Anya. They looked at the camera and gestured to prove that their enhancement had ended.
Si Xu went over and let them out.
Zhao Cheng crawled out along the ceiling with a look of despair on his face.
"Captain, I seem to be losing my strength."
Si Xu: "Wengcheng, pull him over here."
Wengcheng reached out to pull him, and was surprised to find that Zhao Cheng was really light, just like pulling a balloon.
You can't let go of the city wall, as if you let go he will float up again.
Lin Han laughed until his stomach hurt. He turned around and saw Chang Beimu walking towards him with a chill all over his body. Lin Han's face immediately turned green and he jumped away like a monkey.
"Your ability is so cool, damn! I'm freezing to death!"
Huang Qi and Qiao Anya came over and raised their eyebrows when they saw the situation of Zhao Cheng and Chang Beimu.
They both have strong abilities.
Lin Han was curious, "What abilities have you enhanced?"
Huang Qi said helplessly: "I may be the same as you. I can only be a support."
Lin Han's eyes lit up, "Is it also a defensive ability?"
Huang Qi groaned, "I don't think so."
Lin Han was very interested. "What on earth is it?"
Huang Qi had a complicated expression and tried to activate his ability, "Sleepy."
Lin Han's eyelids drooped and he almost fell asleep while standing. Weng Cheng was yawning, and the others also felt sleepy.
The only one who was not affected was Si Xu.
"Group hypnosis." Si Xu gave the answer.
Huang Qi retracted his ability, and everyone regained consciousness.
Everyone looked at Qiao Anya, wanting to know what abilities she had enhanced.
Qiao Anya was still dressed very exquisitely at the base. Unless she had to change into training clothes to go to the radiation training room, she always paid attention to her appearance.
She smiled slightly, "Are you sure you want to see it?"
Si Xu: “Try it.”
Qiao Anya let out a click of the tongue, and a small dagger appeared in her palm, piercing her palm without hesitation.
Blood seeped out from the wound and gathered on the white palm. The bright red blood gradually turned dark. Qiao Anya put away the dagger, stained her five fingers with the dark blood, and pulled out five long thin threads.
People: “???”
Qiao Anya shook off the blood drops on her fingertips, and the blood beads flew towards the metal wall in front.
People only saw blood spots moving back and forth between the passages and finally disappearing from sight.
A dense spider-web-like filament was left between the channels. The filament was originally bright red, but soon turned colorless and transparent.
Person: “…”
Lin Han stared at the transparent thread carefully, reached out and touched it, and a wound immediately appeared on his fingertips.
“Fuck! This is the ability to cut people into pieces!” Lin Han shouted.
Si Xu seemed to be thinking about something. Qiao Anya’s ability was a little special.
Qiao Anya smiled and reached out to grab the transparent filament. Lin Han's scalp tingled. Given the sharpness of the filament, it could easily cut off a hand.
However, it did not happen. The filaments seemed to have life and bounced back into Qiao Anya's palm, condensing into blood drops again. The color returned to bright red and was very sticky. Every time Qiao Anya kneaded it, the blood would stick to her fingers.
Before Si Qinian's meeting was over, he received a report from Si Xu.
He always carries his cell phone with him. When he heard the notification tone, he picked it up immediately to check. When he saw the summary sent by Si Xu, Si Qinian could not sit still at all. No meeting was more important than the current matter.
He asked the deputy minister to continue the meeting while he hurried away to find Si Xu at the base.
Before Si Qinian arrived at the base, he received news from Si Xu.
The news is the result of the RT value test of four people who used gene enhancers.
Zhao Chengrt01:44:13
Huang Qirt01:48:20
Chang Beimu rt01:44:31
Joanya rt01:47:17
Si Qinian: “…”
Back then, their "Special Security Department" didn't even have a second-stage enhanced person, and it wasn't just one or two days that they were looked down upon by foreign forces. The test by Si Xu broke the embarrassment of the "Special Security Department" not having a second-stage enhanced person.
Now, in just 3 minutes, four second-stage enhanced people appeared in one go!
How could this not make Si Qinian excited
What made him even more excited was the success rate of the potions. Four potions and four people were all successfully enhanced!
He wanted to see Si Xu now and have a good talk with him about the medicine.
Si Qinian rushed to the base but found nothing. Si Xu was no longer there, leaving only a funding application form for Si Qinian.
The reason for the application is very legitimate. We need to consolidate the strength of the enhanced people. We will go to the Magic Fish Shop for three days. Please allocate funds.
When Si Qinian saw the amount of funding, he was so angry that his forehead was throbbing.
Si Qinian called Si Xu. Why were they going to eat if they didn't want to talk about medicine at this time? Even if they were going to eat, couldn't they find a place by themselves? Why did they need a captain like him to lead them?!
The call went through, but Si Xu didn't come back.
Just one sentence: Let’s talk about it in the afternoon. It’s lunch time now.
I canceled the meeting and came to see Minister Sisu: "..."
